Song Zheyuan didn't know that Liu Lang looked at his departing back and pondered for a long time.

Liu Lang did not discuss in detail with the future supreme military governor of North China as he imagined, because he knew that there was no need.

Song Zheyuan is actually a very complex character.

This is also one of the conclusions of the future republic.

In the past time and space, he had an equally strong sense of patriotism and a sense of warlordship, which often plunged him into fierce ideological struggles. Song Zheyuan had a deep-rooted idea of warlord separatism, and half of what he did in Pingjin was forced by the Japanese, and half still hoped to establish an independent kingdom and engage in military secession.

The bald boss spent a lot of effort to woo him, but Song Zheyuan finally refused to give him a hug. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Song Zheyuan kept saying that he wanted to leave some foundation for Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, reflecting that in his heart, Feng Yuxiang was always higher than Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, the bald boss had achieved unification, those who followed me prospered, and those who opposed me perished, and how many generals of the Northwest Army kept pace with the times and took refuge in the bald boss, but Song Zheyuan was still loyal to Feng Yuxiang.

The warlord mentality ingrained in his mind eventually ruined his military career. The bald boss can reuse Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming and others, as well as Sun Lianzhong and other generals of the Northwest Army, but he refuses to use Song Zheyuan, because he sees through his selfish thoughts.

Zhang Zizhong fought hard with the 59th Army and the Itagaki Division that he had personally cultivated in Lunan, completely ignoring the casualties, and won the Linyi victory; Sun Lianzhong guarded Taierzhuang, and he also had the determination to wipe out the troops, so that Taierzhuang won a great victory. It is precisely this spirit of sacrificing the ego and fulfilling the ego that won the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for China.

In the final analysis, Song Zheyuan was a figure created during China's decades of warlord warfare, and although he had unyielding national integrity, he could not become the mainstay of resisting Japan and saving the country because of his fatal ideological flaws.

Song Zheyuan finally failed to die on the battlefield and got the most ideal destination for a soldier, which is indeed regrettable, but it is also reasonable.

However, after all, these are only the judgments of later generations on Song Zheyuan.

But in Liu Lang's view, after fighting side by side with the 29th Army, this old warlord-minded general was a soldier after all, a real Chinese soldier, as long as he shattered his luck that the Japanese army would not invade North China in 1937, he and his 29th Army would not have lost their troops and withdrew from Hebei. The equipment has been greatly improved, and the 29th Army, with its many excellent patriotic generals, may still not be a Japanese opponent to be prepared for several years, but they can buy a little more time for China.

For China in this period, every little time it gains, it will be more prepared, and every extra point of preparation means that more invaders will die in this vast land.

In fact, the flesh-and-blood Chinese battlefield is not only a meat grinder for the Chinese, but also for the Japanese.

All the people of the world see is the exaggerated figure of more than 2 million Chinese soldiers killed in battle, but as everyone knows, only the Japanese themselves have counted that the number of Chinese soldiers killed in battle is as high as more than 455,000.

At first glance, there is a huge difference in the number of war deaths between the two countries, but the difference in the population base of the two countries is even greater, if the American cowboy had not dropped those two fat bombs. The Japanese, who were already getting weaker and weaker in the later period, may have to pay an even more exaggerated death toll.

The Chinese, who have been forced into a corner and forced to let out a final roar, will use their vast territory and huge population to turn the millions of Japanese troops dragged in China into fierce beasts trapped in the swamp, waiting for them only to be swallowed by darkness.

If the Japanese top brass who overestimated themselves were to express their feelings about the Sino-Japanese battlefield in one word, the only answer would be "rub."

In the same way, to put it in one word to the top Chinese state leaders who underestimated that they were being forced into an all-out war, it could only be, "day".

That's right, no one at the top of the two countries expected that it would be like this.

Of course, Liu Lang is powerless to change the trend of the stubborn historical rut, but he can, with more Japanese blood, tell the Japanese high-level who launched the war of aggression: Lao Tzu is here to do you.

With a letter of commitment to love, Liu Lang got Song Zheyuan.

Next, he and the Independent Regiment finally received a military order from the Ministry of Military Affairs that the Independent Regiment should withdraw from the Northern Theater and return to the Guangyuan garrison in Sichuan.

That's right, after driving the other armies out of the Pingjin area one by one, there was no longer any need for Liu Lang and his independent regiment to stay in Beiping City, which was now the defense area of the Central Army.

Huang Jie and his second division have taken over the defense of Beiping City, although they have only been here for more than a year, but now it is their territory, Liu Lang and his independent regiment are no longer considered the Central Army, and since this month, their military expenses have been paid by Liu Xiang, who is far away in Sichuan Province.

Since people go to tea and cool, Liu Lang, who must leave the military within three days after receiving it, certainly has nothing to be nostalgic for.

The bald tycoons who consciously and thoroughly mastered Pingjin did not know that at least one-third of the city's cash, as much as three million dollars of the ocean, and three million bank bills had been quietly gathered at the station of Liu Lang's independent regiment and would be transported back to the southwest by Liu Lang.

In the next three years, more than a dozen factories in Beiping will be gradually shut down, and equipment, materials and even personnel will gradually shift to the southwest.

And those shops that have been converted into shares will also be gradually sold in the next few years, replaced by calligraphy and paintings, or cash to be shipped back to the southwest.

Although Liu Lang's shareholders don't know why Liu Lang is so interested in those antiques that can't be eaten and can only be seen, you must know that "gold and antiques in troubled times", in such troubled times, not to mention gold, even food, is much more useful than those things.

However, when Boss Liu held a meeting with them, he made it very clear that he would personally repurchase these antiques in cash at the market price, and would not let the company be the wrongdoer. Since this is the case, the shareholders naturally have no objections, Boss Liu has money and wants to toss, so let him toss.

Unbeknownst to the Beiping city government and the Military Council, the money was quietly flowing out, only that a new company of Peking businessmen needed a large number of workers, and that the large number of refugees from the north who had already overwhelmed them was the one they were recruiting.

After nearly a week of extensive publicity and a fairly good salary, more than 70,000 people chose to go south to work in the Chinese commercial company. Of course, there are only 20,000 people who can really work, and the rest are women, children, and children, who can flee here for thousands of miles, and the old and frail old people have basically been eliminated, except for the people of Chengde who retreated with the independent regiment.

Although there is some dissatisfaction with the fact that the company chose to locate its factory in the south and pay less taxes, it is nothing compared to the fact that they can absorb all the refugees and pay for them to move to the south.

You must know that just setting up porridge shacks for these refugees who have no food sources consumes thousands of dollars and food every day, not to mention the salaries and expenses arranged by personnel such as sanitation and epidemic prevention and security to prevent them from picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

It can be said that these 100,000 refugees are a burden, and they cannot produce any benefits, but spend money in vain. It's great to be able to pack it up and send it away.

Since Sichuan wants to take care of it, let them take care of it.

As a result, the Beiping municipal government not only gave the green light and issued a certificate to the newly established "charity" Chinese Commercial Company, but even organized 20 special trains to transport refugees. Of course, the cost is naturally paid by the Chinese commercial company.

Depart from Beiping to Yichang, Hubei Province, then board the boat to the mountain city, and then use a horse-drawn carriage or walk to the factory area set by the Chinese business company.

This era is not like a few decades later, when a train reaches the end of the road, but if it weren't for these 20 slow trains emitting black smoke, these 70,000 people wanted to travel 2,000 kilometers on foot, and I don't know how many people would have died of illness on the way to Sichuan.

For these 20 special trains, the Chinese Commercial Company does not know how much effort it has exerted, nor does it know how many people have received the white flowers, and the current Dayang laughed and scolded the Chinese Commercial Company in their hearts.

Maybe Liu Lang is the only one who thinks that the money is well spent.

Later, these refugees proved with their own efforts that they were indeed worthwhile.

The Chinese nation has always been a nation that knows how to be grateful.
